>> i wanna say something that will startle the washington establishment. the number one power of the house is to originate spending and taxing. if the house republicans decide not to -- look, i'm the guy who helped lead closing the federal government twice in order to get bill clinton's attention. because we weren't getting serious negotiations. somehow, after we proved how serious we were we negotiated. wented up passing welfare -- welfare reform, four consecutive balanced budgets we were able to work together because we had mutual respect. it is clear president obama has no respect for the congressional republicans. people -- it is not just a laughing party -- laughing matter. here's a guy with four more years as president and starting his second term with total contempt for the beam in charge of the u.s. house. they should indicate clearly not only are they not going to give in on the debt ceiling. he may have a hard time getting any money for anything out of the congress next year. at which point he's got a big problem running the government. >> sean:

this congress, the one in washington today is the 102nd congress. here's what has happened since the time of truman's do-nothing congress. that is truman's congress there, the red arrow there, the one that couldn't get anything done, so terrible and hapless and unpopular that truman was able to run an otherwise hopeless campaign against them and win. the graph shows how much legislation was passed by that congress. right? that was history's do-nothing congress. here's our current congress. the good old 112th. here's our current republican-led congress. truman's congress passed a meager 900 or so bills. our congress passed fewer than 100. the weakest most anemic record on record for any congress ever since the congressional clerk started counting the number of bills passed, no congress has accomplished less than john boehner's congress. you know what, it turns out people still care just like in truman's time. the esteem the american people have for congress now is in mired in the low double digits. so there are still a few more days left in the 112th
